A lot of very good common sense advice. It's weird that parents need to be told this stuff, but say it loud if it helps.

Are you saying this is a good idea? Tell that to someone I know who smothered one of twins!

This article is wrong. “More than 3,500 babies in the U.S. die suddenly and unexpectedly every year while sleeping, often due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or accidental deaths from suffocation or strangulation.”https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/sleep/Pages/A-Parents-Guide-to-Safe-Sleep.aspx …

Sleep related deaths are the third most common cause of infant mortality. This article is irresponsible. I’ve been a part of a county infant mortality review committee, reviewing cases of death ... this isn’t abstract ... babies die from unsafe sleep.

I have had to tell parents their baby died because of suffocation in bed. It’s a horrible discussion to have. Bring babies into your bed to feed or comfort. Then move them to a firm surface for sleep. Great tips from

I can’t believe the post is still up?! This is unacceptable.

With all due respect, anthropologists use cross-sectional studies, which can’t be used to analyze behavior over time or help determine cause and effect. None of these authors have any training in public health, epidemiology, or child health. Infants are safest on a bare crib.

Exactly this. It’s so irresponsible.

@nypost@RaquelLaneri Pediatrician child safety expert here. This is dangerous misinformation and you are quite literally risking the lives of MANY infants by sharing this. Bed sharing ALWAYS carries a risk of death due to suffocation and asphyxiation. It’s a fact. Shame on you. -
I don’t think this can be overstated - this article (and particularly the headline) is dangerous and irresponsible.
@RaquelLaneri and@nypost really need to retract this. - Show replies
